Surgical Hand Scrubs

Transmission of bacteria can be reduced with proper hand antisepsis by healthcare professionals prior to surgery. 1

Recommendations and guidelines, including those from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), state that healthcare professionals should clean their hands with an alcohol-based antimicrobial solution prior to patient contact or putting on gloves.
